Has anyone with moabs modified the rear tire carrier, so the spare wheel doesn't stick out so far? Maybe it will look better when I put my MTR's on, right now I have 235/70 Revo's and it looks kind of funny. I can't wait to get my franken lift.

With the MTRs it looks kinda good, IMO.

when I buy the spare Moab and MTR, will I need to get that bracket from Rocky-Road to move the tire out more? Or will the Moab wheel provide more clearance for the back window to open with the bigger tire not getting in the way.

Not sure, but if it does, you could always save some money and use washers to space it out instead.

Yea I used washers when I used to have my tire on the rear tailgate, but I ended that problem by moving it to the roof rack :wink: 8)

No, the Moab rim allows you to run a bigger tire on the back becuase the backspacing moves the tire further away from the vehicle. Looks great with MTR's.
